Tasting
| Color Desc | primrose yellow aspect |
| Aroma | A cooler and more restrained nose is comprised of notes of mineral reduction, lemon zest and a floral top note. slightly chalky bouquet with hints of linseed and walnut in the background. ripe pear and passionfruit aroma and suggestion of fresh butter. A more opulent bouquet here, with considerable tension. |
| Palate | The sleeker if not denser middleweight flavors also possess a lovely sense of tension and vibrancy. very well-balanced with a smooth, slightly creamy texture counterbalancing acidity. well-balanced richness here. Does it fill out the middle? I think more a question of backwardness. This does build really quite nicely. |
| Finish | the stonier and youthfully austere well-balanced finish. good length. rewardingly long finish. |
| Aging Potential | 2026-2040 |
